Above is the final edit for the cover. To make the design the same photo was used of one hand and then flipped around to create the rectangular shape. The levels were changed to darken the blacks and lighten the whites to really make the design stand out. The designs were sent off to the client and feedback was also given in person after attending one of their gigs.
Both members of the band are excited for the design to be put into practice:
The shots worked really well for the design and the final outcome has come out better than anticipated. The accidental cracked look has gone down great with the client making the design really shout out at them. They did have some critical feedback for the images too. Below are some experiments using type, the client did not like any of these for their piece and although the final one uses the typeface used in their logo they thought it best not to be included. As for the piece below originally the design was slightly skewed but the client wanted it straightened up to match their logo more, they also wanted the hands to be moved again to help match but it didn't look right. After explaining why the design would not work the client thought it best to leave the design as the final above. The hands being moved made the L shapes into more of a square rather than a rectangle matching the logo.
Overall the design seems to be successful but it is still needed to be taken further. Mockups as well a printing will need to be done and sent over to maintain constant communication between the designer and the client.
